The eighty-four assisted immigrants
from Ireland detained for few days at
Philadelphia, have been allowed to land
under very peculiar circumstances. The
Government authorities assisted" them
to reach friends in the West, and the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company furnished two
cars to transport them.
This is assisted immigration" in a new
form, the Government Of the United
States supplementing the assistance
gladly given by the Government Of Great
Britain. The condition OF the landing oil
these dependents was that they should at
once go West, but there is nothing to
show that they will be q more desirable
acquisition to the West than they would
have been to the more refined East.
After all they become part OF the popula-
ton Of the United States, and If they can.
not hoe their own row they will become
burdens on those communities upon which
they may iasten themselves.
And the next cargo OF the same kind
what disposition will the Government au.
thorities make Of that? Will there be
more assistance to go West?

NEW YORK, June l.-some out.of.towr

think this is a mere igment. Some one
apparently is very anxious that the time
between San Francisco should be short

would not. Fast trains are generally run
because there is a demand for them, and
so far as ! know there has been no real
demand for quicker time to San Francisco.
These statements are what the boys call
'feelers' and do not represent any feeling

NEw YoRK, June 1.-The Oregon Trana.
Continental Company began suit in the
United States Circuit Court to- day sgainst
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
to enioin the Directors and President Of
the defendant company from issuing any
bonds or raising any money to build q new
road, to be called the Oregon & Washing.
ton Territory Railroad Company, from
Walluls to Pendeton.
The plaintiff alleges that they own S..
$50 shares Of the preferred stock OF the
Northern Pacific, and 9,25l shares OF the
common stock, making in all 1SS,OSl
shares, and that this is the largest amount
Of stock owned by any one person.
The plaintiff claims that the Northern
Pacific has attempted to build the new
road for the purpose OF plunging the
stockholders into debt, and that the court
should not permit any such scheme to be
carried out. The cost OF the new road will
be about SS00,000.

CoLuABus, June 1.-The Columbus tally
sheet forgery cases are on the Supreme
Court calendar for oral arguments on
Thursday. The question involved is as to
the suthciency Of the indictment. Judge
Duncan claimed that the indictments
would not hold, and undertook to throw
the cases out OF court. The court held
that the forged tally-shests and poll.books
were not before the court, and therefore
the defendants could not be held.

Of this case, Tor the leaders OF the party
have at all stsges ofthe proceedings plead

alone was responsible for the crime Of
forging the tally.sheeta in the interest OF a
Democratic candidate Tor the United

The mean precipitation over agricultur.
al Texas for May was 3.52 inches, which
Is about one inch less than the average
during the past FIVE years. .
By lar the heaviest rains have fallen In
Northern and Eastern Texas, and these
sections as a consequence, report a most
favorable outlook for cotton. While the
spring rains throughoa. Central and
Western Texas and the coast district were
generous enough for ordinary seasons.
they fall short Of the required amount
when 1t Is considered how serious was the
drouth that existed in these SECTIONS from
January to April. - :
In the southeastern cotton section the
precipitation for May, especially in the
western hall, was very meagre. Reports
from this district mention lateness Of the
crop, which, according to good estimates.
will average from four to six weeks late az
compared with ordinary years, :
Palestine Is nearly centrally situated as
regards cotton production. The precipita.
ton at that point from January ! to June

supplies the key to the present outlook

the present year this rainfall is II 50, for
